It can be useful to have some tests as independent userspace things
(i.e. outside KUnit-UML) to use other tooling on it, but I think for
such cases we would want to have a way to use the tests from userspace
without having to remove them from being KUnit tests too, since we
definitely want to test them in the actual kernel too.

David et al. can probably tell us more context, e.g. I may be missing
some plans on their side here. For instance, for Rust, we wanted to
eventually have a way to tag stuff as kernel vs. host etc., but that
is longer term.

Cheers,
